There are moments when the Bible believer looks at the headlines and feels like they are watching the pages of Scripture rise up, walk off the page, and rebuke the modern world in real time. Israel’s planned Pride Land LGBTQ+ festival at the Dead Sea in June 2026 is one of those moments. Think about the arrogance of it! The very people, the Jews, to whom “were committed the oracles of God”, the word of God, are now the same people who spit in God’s face promoting what He hates. At NTEB, we have always stood with the Jews, supported the nation of Israel and prayed for the peace of Jerusalem. But that support is not a ‘blank check’, and we absolutely call all Christians everywhere to stand against this ‘Pride Land at the Dead Sea’ abomination. Pray for the salvation of the Jews and Israel.

.An example of what happens when man shakes his fist in the face of God and declares evil to be good. And now, in the very region where that example still screams from the pages of your King James Bible, Israel is preparing to host what is being promoted as the Middle East’s largest LGBT festival. That is not progress, that’s a provocation. What the world calls inclusion, God calls abomination.

That is the message Pride Land will never preach. Pride says, “Celebrate yourself.” The gospel says, “Deny yourself.” Pride says, “Be who you are.” The gospel says, “Ye must be born again.” Pride says, “No repentance required.” The Bible says without repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ, there is no salvation. Modern Israel needs the same gospel the Gentile nations need. America needs it. Europe needs it. The Middle East needs it. The LGBTQ+ activist needs it. The religious Jew needs it. The Catholic priest needs it. The Baptist preacher needs it. The atheist needs it. Every sinner needs the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
